About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Eat all the frômage.

ABOUT ME

Hi all! I'm a 25-year-old girl from Chicago who's currently living the dream in France. I'm a Francophile, through and through, and am looking forward to traveling around the country during my time here and hopefully improving my French.

I'm currently reading books about World War II and studying to become a web developer. I'm also a cat lady, and I brought my furry friend, Lola, to France with me.

Salut à tous! Je suis une jeune fille, 25 ans, qui viens de Chicago et habite en ce moment en France. Je suis complètement une Francophile et j'ai trôp hate de voyager autours du pays pendant mon séjour ici et, avec espoir, améliorer le français.

Maintenant, je lis des livres sur le deuxième guerre mondiale et étudie de devenir une créatrice de sites. J'adore les chats et j'ai emmené la mienne, Lola, avec moi en France.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment, I'm a traveler who would love to meet new people.

En ce moment, je suis une voyageuse qui a envie de faire la connaissance de beaucoup de gens!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I studied abroad in France in 2010 and had several couchsurfing experiences during that time, namely in Toulouse. My friend and I had a great night out with our hosts at a local restaurant! In addition, I've listed some recent couchsurfing experiences below:

- Orléans, surfed for two nights: October 2013

J'étudiais en France en 2010 et j'ai eu quelques expériences de couchsurfing pendant ce temps--notamment à Toulouse. Mon ami et moi ont surfé ensemble et on a mangé et discuté beaucoup avec nos gentilles hôtes au restaurant local. En plus, j'ai fourni ci-dessous des expériences récentes de couchsurfing:

- Orléans, surfé pendant deux nuits: Octobre 2013

Interests

I love traveling in France and learning French when I can. I'm a vegetarian who loves cooking and trying new recipes. I also dig reading non-fiction books, shopping for vintage clothes and drinking beer (and wine, of course).

J'adore voyager en France et apprendre le français quand je peux le faire. Je suis une végétarienne qui aime beaucoup de faire la cuisine et essayer des nouvelles recettes. J'aime aussi lire les livres non-romanesque, faire du shopping pour les vêtements retros et boire la bière (et le vin, bien sûr).
